The
Burial, Resurrection from the dead and Ascension into Heaven of Jesus Christ
Joseph
of Arimathea went to the Praetorium to ask Pilate for Christ's body. The
tomb used for His burial was only about 130 feet from Calvary.On the third
day after His death, Christ rose from the tomb. The Scriptures relate eight
appearances of Christ before His Ascension, which occured forty days after
the Resurrection. The first apparition occured at the entrance to the tomb
before Mary Magdalen, the second was to the holy women on the road back
to the City from the tomb. The third was to the two disciples on the road
to Emmaus, the fourth to the Apostles gathered in the Cenacle, and again
when Thomas was present. The sixth was to the seven disciples by the Sea
of Galilee, the seventh on a mountain in Galilee, thought to be Mount Tabor.
The final appearance, 40 days after the Resurrection, was to the Apostles
in Jerusalem just a few hours before His Ascension into Heaven from Mount
Olivet, where was surrounded by His Apostles and a number of the disciples.

Two Patricks in County Tyrone, Ireland, are writing a series of books
on the life and times of Jesus and they are a really excellent read - the
first two are published under the titles of Song of The Carpenter I &
II. Well worth buying and excellent for schools for Religious Instruction)

Under
our section on The Bible we have attempted to
give a 'potted history' and some explanations around divine inspiration,
translations and interpretation. In order to make your reading of the New
Testament teachings of the Life of Christ a little easier we have looked
at the time of Jesus from His Conception to His Ascension according to
the writings of the four evangelists, and categorised the various events
and teachings with reference to the chapter and verse of each writer.
We
start with Jesus' Infancy & Childhood;
then move on to the start of Jesus' Public
Ministry. There is no historical proof of actual times available but
we have used the Douay Challoner version to divide the three years of Jesus'
ministry as His First Year of Public
Ministry; His Second Year of
Public Ministry; His Third Year
of Public Ministry; the events leading into His time of betrayal and
suffering during Holy Week; the events surrounding
Holy
Thursday when He instituted the bloodless sacrifice of the Eucharist
to be carried out in His name for perpetuity; the events surrounding His
suffering, passion and death on Good Friday;
and finally His Burial,
Resurection and Ascension into Heaven. |
